It's World Television Day

So we are drinking a...

BBC

In 1996, against considerable opposition, the United Nations proclaimed today World Television Day, a chance to highlight the role of communications, good and bad, in raising awareness of global issues.

We Brits, of course, are lucky enough to have our very own national broadcaster, the BBC, affectionately known to many of a certain age as Auntie, and to others as the Beeb, on both radio and television.

Will you be watching telly tonight? Or doing something more interesting instead? Either way, we recommend you check out the Nights Watch cocktail, or opt for a classic BBC.
